Avimecc Modica’s preparation resumes today in view of the last match of the first round of the Blue group of the A3 series championship, which on Sunday afternoon will see the white and blues of the County playing at the “PalaRizza” against Gioia del Colle.
Coach Enzo Distefano’s sextet has just returned from defeat with the honor of arms on the field of league leaders Sorrento, where a good performance was not enough to bring home points in the standings. Barretta and his teammates, however, can look to the future with optimism because, with the exception of the second set, they always remained in the match, managing in various situations to create difficulties for the first of the class who became winter champions one round early.
“I’m satisfied with the boys’ performance at the home of the league leaders – explains Enzo Distefano – a little less with the result because I think we deserved something more. The performance was there and also the approach to the match knowing that you were playing at the top of the class. We left the field with our heads held high. We made too many mistakes in the first two sets and we paid the price, then in the third we reorganized ourselves and managed to impose our game. The fourth set was very balanced, but Sorrento’s individuality in crucial moments allowed the match to be resolved in their favor. The performance as I had asked for when preparing for the match was there, even if – he continues – I had to give up Chillemi at the last minute due to a physical problem and Raso who suffered a minor illness.
